10mm 044 build/port

[jmssaws]

I turned the wick up some.
At 15k here and bulldog strong

Not to shabby for a low compression woods ported work saw.
It's the first I've done that impresses me.
Also the first one I've done my new way.

What do you consider low compression? I've had a few saws done that are around 180 and they seem to run just fine. I've also heard about saws that are up around 230.

It's 185lb and a honest twice as strong as the 200+ saws I use to build.
A stihl just don't need it but the strongest 394's and 395's ive ran or built are very high compression.
The 394 I just did is 250lbs and is a violent beast

Sounds pretty good ,How is it against the 441 ? They run ok with early 046 jugs too .

Don't have a 441 here but it's probably ahead or right with the last one I did.
Maybe stronger not sure.

By far the best running 044 I've ran

Do you have a theory as to why it runs so good? Is the KS cylinder better, or is it the way you ported this particular saw compared to how you've done it in the past?

It's the first 044 I've done this way and it's just a good one.
It will run with a lot of ported 460s

I've said it many times that I'll take the 044 over a hybrid everytime.
This saw will scream If you want or it can grunt,all you have to do is turn a screw

 

[jmssaws]

I'll run it with my stout 460 just to see

Them early 10mm saws just ran good ,had an angry sound to them .the flywheel is one of the reasons they run good ,little heavier than the ms440 ones .I run early 044 flywheels on my 440 saws ,helps a little with a longer bar .

I wish I had the last 441 here I ported.

Your 441 is sitting here in the box waiting for ups to pick it up. I can unwrap it and see how it fairs

Go for it ,be good comparison .
I bet the 044 pulls on it ,my hybrid spanks it bad

This 044 will spank it to I'm thinking.
Ups is a *b-word,they won't come get it.

I will see if can request a pick up on my end
The 441 was not impressed with stock ,hopped up was better ,but not no hybrid ,or 10mm 044 for power in my opinion .

My ported 10mm 044 will easily outrun my ported 046. Ive not run tons of saws like some but there is definitely something nasty about that saw.

This saw is a hell of a runner but my 460 will clobber it is believe.
The 441 I just sold would thump it too
But there not fair comparisons.

I've done several 044 but none ever ran like I thought it should,they ran great but they lacked the nasty anger feel of my 064s and 066's, this one feels that way and I know why so it's repeatable.

I didn't run saws today but maybe tomorrow
